The Bibles in the National Library.

The National Library contains
many rare and curious works. 1t has
some of the most valuable books ever
published in America. and among
these is the first American Bible
printed in European tongue in this
country. 1t is German Bible which
was printed at Germantown in 1743,
and which Mr.. Spofford bought at a
book auction about two years ago. 1t
is kept in box-like case in one of
the alcoves of the ground floor, and
is truly a curiosity. Though not as
thick as Webster's Dictionary, it
weighs about as much, and though
printed over one hundred and twenty
years ago, 1t is still in good condition.
1t is about six inches thick andseight
inches wide, by ten or twelve inches
long. 1t is bound in oak boards COW
cred with a rich brown leather, and
on its corners there are heavy brass
bosses with little heads .jutting out Of
them to keep the leather from rest
ing on the table. Its claps are Of
leather with brass fasteners, and its
paper, now yellow with age, is prin.
ted in queer OLD German type, The
first page is In colors, and on the fly.
leaves there are several genealogical
records. 1t was originally owned ty
German, but in 1898 it was bQsghs
by Enoch Rittenhouse, member. 1
doubt not, of the old Rittenhouse
family of Philadelphia.
Another Bible that the Library
has, is that printed for the Indians
by John Eliot in 1868. Thb is the
first Bible printed in Ameica. 1t
was printed in Cambridge and in the
Indian tongue. The Librsry has a
chapter devoted to Bibles and the
chapter of theological works is the
largest one in the Library. | looked
at this big bookcase of Bibles the
other day; they are ofall sizes and
shapes, from the little yest-pOcket
editions to one big enough almost for
mOunting-blocK for hOrses. They
are in all dialects and languages. and
the Chinese Bibles looklike so many
punches of MANILA wrspping-paper.
The print of these Bibles is as queer
as the languages in which they are
printed, and they have every style
of types from the Illuminated script
of the monks of the Middle Ages to
the common print of to-day.

"What is it? What's the matter
with you. David ?" asked a familiar
voice. Good heavens had he been
dreaming?
"If you will eat two pieces of pie
after your dinner, and then 60 to
sleep you must expect to have the

cheerfully.
"Mary." he asked in contrite
spirit, "are you aliy9?'

All ! what agony she might have
saved him from if she had only
"teased."
David Atwood kissed his wife
when he left her that day. The good
woman blushed and went and looked
in the glass. Before night a neat girl
came into the kitchen and stayed
there. She failed on the biscuits, but
David said his soul was above bis
cults could eat bread now. Little
Annie sat on his knee and got ac-
quainted with papa. 1t was like be-
ginning all over again. David made
speech one day. He said:
"People are always talking about
going to heaven. Why don't they
make an effort to bring heaven
here?"
He is no longer so welded to bus
mess that his wife is a widow. A
dream of death brought about a new
life.

Esmerelda Longcoffin-I have just
been reading an article about yacht
racing. How delightful it must be

Hostetter McGinnis - You have
been on yacht during rough wealth
err, have you, Esmerelda?
Esmerelda-Never yet, but know
l should edjoy it eyer so much.
Hostetter-Well, when I paid a
a visit to my uncle in New York
some years ago l accepted an invita-
ton to go out on a yacht.
Esmerelda-I presume you had a
very fine time. Do you love the sea,
Mr.. McGinniss ?
Hostetter-WeIl, on that particular
occasion. while l was looking over
the railing / felt ready to give up
everything for it. and in fact / did
then and there.
Esmerelda-Were you seasicko
Hostetter-l was very much dis
gusted with the motion of the vessel.
Esmerelda-Didn't the sea fill you
with emotion?
Hostetter, shaking his head-Not
at all. On the contrary, it rather
emptied me.
Esmerelda-Oh!
Hostetter-Yes; that's what | said
several times.
Esmerelda-Was that the first time
you had ever been to sea?
Hostetter-That was the first and
last time. Il had, however, been half
seas over from indulgence in schoon.
ers. There was only one man on the
yacht who was not affected. He was
doctor. He was SO accustomed to
see sickness that the motion of the
yacht had no effect whatever on him.
Esmerelda-I suppose you were
out of sight of land?
Hostetter-Yes, we were out of
sight of land. although it was only
two miles off, but unfortunately was
straight down, and sick as | was
didn't care to travel in that direction.
Damp clothes always give me rheu-
matism.
Esmerelda-I've read that wine
was great remedy for sea-sickness.
Hostetter-The wine l wanted
most was port.
Esmerelda-After what you have
told me I don't think I'll ever care
to go to sea.
Hostetter-Ifyou should ever go to
sea, Miss Esmerelda, there are sever
al little things you want to remem-
Der. In the first place, if you hear
the captain talking about crack
yacht don't ask him if a crack yacht
is yacht that leaks. Remember that
the swell of the sea is not caused by
dropsy, and that ships are never
boarded at hotels. Make friends
with the steward or stewardess, for
there is no telling how soon you may
need his or her services, and you
must not get angry if, after rolling
ali night, the steward asks you if
you don't want a fresh roll.
Esmerelda-Thank you, Mr.. Me-
Ginnis, I'll try and remember what
you have said.-IeraS S3tngS.

The Oldest Mule in the World

GAINESVILLE, KY, Nov. 2S--Stafford,
Va, some days ago gave to the world the
story of a mule said to be 81 years old. To
some this story seemed unreasonable, but 10
the people of Floyd county who are ac
quainted with AUNT Nancy Honaker and
the old mule" there is nothing wonderful
in it. Mrs. Honaker gives her age as u
years, and the mule, she says, and so do
numerous Other old inhabitants here, is very
well known to have been resident of this
State for sixty years. He is
an importation from Virginia, and
may be a brother of the Stat
ford mule. No one knows how old he was
when he emigrated from the Old Dominion.
THE old mule" had considerable reputation
as a traveller before the war, having, it is
said, done service over several STATES and
of his war history many mysterious stories
are whispered about. But the days of the
old mules usefulness are not yet of the past,
as he yet does cool service in the buggy
and under the saddle, not being subjected
TO mental service in the pillow ana wagon.
1.-The old mulen is to-day healthy and
hearty, and bids fair to live outthe limit
fixed for man, il he has not already passed
the period of three score years and ten.

BAD LUCK Fer LABOR PAPERS.
Some of the Reasons Why Two of them
Died

OCHlS III Jl6 flSdSOns w ny VIZ VI bIChA
Died.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26-At the time Of the
November election there were two daily
labor papers in New York, one of them
over year old the other but few weeks
old. Both of them are dead Three months
before the election John StCtntoH'S Paper,
which had been supported for four years at
the expense of the editor, went out of exist
ence. Since 1870 there have been about
dozen attempts to establish daily or weekly
labor papers in this city, but all of them
have come to grief. 1t is nearly fifty years
since the first organ Of 'workingmen's rights
appeared here, but it was -shcrt-llved,
though it had an excellent and able man for
its editor. Long afterward came the
Worktngmdn's Advocate, which was
succeeded by the Labor Standard, and the
Toiter, and the Voice of Labor and the
LABOR Union and numerous others whose
very names are forgotten. The Truth daily
took the labor side five years ago, but 1t
feel into bankruptcy. The Telegraph daily
tried the same course three years ago, but
soon persisted in the attempt, after sinking
S4O,0O0, or about twice as much as was sunk
in john Swinton's weekly. There have
lately been reports of new ventures here in
the line of the labor press, though the ex-
perlences of the past are not such as to give
encouragement to them. The losses by those
started within the past twenty years cannot
have been less than 100000.
The facts in the case are curious and not
easily explained. The labor organizations
here are very strong Within two years
the Knights of Labor alone in the city have
numbered over 20, coo members, and if we add
to them the strength of the trade unions not
connected with that order, it will give
total of not fewer than 100, 900 organized
wage workers in New York City. Every
one who has attended the meetings of any
of these bodies has heard the never ending
cry for the establishment OF Labor papers
1t has looked as though the demand was
such as to admit of no denial; and yet all
the numerous attempts to supply it, during
many years, have been failures sometimes
of very melancholy kind. Not one in a
hundred of the. members of the labor organ
izations of the city have ever subscribed for
any OF the labor papers started in their be-
half, whether these papers were weeklies or
dailies, whether they were conducted with
ability or incompetency, whether they were
cooperative or personal, whether they stood
for the trades unions or tine Knights OF
Labor, whether their policy followed any
given direction or drifted without direction
In fact, the mere appearance of any labor
paper in New York has been the signal for
general assault upon it by the leaders of
labor organizations, which continued with
out cessation till the day of destruction.

'Since you will buckle fortune on my back,
To bear her burden whe'r will or no,
must have patience to endure the load"
These meaning lines of Shakespeare came
vividly to the mind of the reporter of the
Picayune, who called Thursday noon at the
Office of The Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany and was introduced to Margaret Breen,
wife of Thomas Clark.
The lady, who is a native of Ireland,
County Fermanagh, was accompanied by
her husband They held in their possession
one-tenth ticket number 7l,411, which at
the last drawing of the lottery became emit
tied to the capital prize of Sl5O,00O.
1t was in 1859 that the couple were mar
ried They have lived happily together,
and have family of six children, all of
whom are full grown. Clark, who has been
boss slater by trade for thirty-one years,
pursued the duties of his calling, and Mrs.
Clark attended to the affairs of the house
hold. Both parents have been heavy play
ers in the lottery.
The husband, on the other hand, has also
been an ardent player, and has only been
successful once, drawing a prize of $3.50
Mrs Clark's advice to her husband has al
ways been: go calmly; you can't win by
forcing.n
Speaking of the monthly drawings, Mrs.
Clark stated that the ticket with which she
had just drawn the capital prize was the
tenth of the kind that she had ever pur-
chased.
When the good woman was handed a
check for $4,000 on the New Orleans Ma
tional Bank, she calmly took it, proceeded
to the bank and deposited it for her account
Mr. and Mrs Clark, who have hitherto
been in ordinary circumstances, say they
will continue working, but not trouble them
selves to any extent. They are, however,
proud of their success, but do not believe in
the saying: Every man is the maker of his
own fortune and must be, in some measure,
the trumpet of his fame. ''-NetU Orleans,
